Moonlight will demonstrate one of the industrys first H.264 DirectShow encoders, which outputs H.264 VHS quality streams under 300 kb/s full-frame rate. In addition, Moonlight will present its real time, full D1 H.264 decoder.

"Moonlight's current technologies allow us to maintain our commitment to work exclusively with industry standards and improve upon their capabilities with amazing, high quality results. Our vision for the future is to draw on our technologies to enable new families of appliances such as Cordless PCs and TVs," says Ira Dvir, CEO and co-founder of Moonlight.

The Moonlight MPEG-2/H.264 encoding solution enables companies to effortlessly upgrade their current PVR products to the Trimedia MPEG-2/H.264 chip-doubling their hard disc recording capacity.

Moonlight has gained worldwide recognition for its video codec products, including the Moonlight Elecard MPEG-2 Decoder and the Moonlight SharkImage Encoder line. The Elecard MPEG-2 Decoder is a software-only MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 decoding solution that provides superior efficiency and quality due to its high precision arithmetics and outstanding engineering. Moonlight's SharkImage Encoder line features patent pending, highly efficient algorithms that provide for exceptional broadcast quality at low bit rates regardless of price or platform-an excellent alternative to fixed function chip encoders.

The SharkImage Encoder line consists of three versions, each brilliantly engineered to address the needs of a number of markets. They include the consumer interested in transferring home camcorder videos to DVD/SVCD or DVD to SVCD; the prosumer, who may demand special customized solutions in video recording, digital surveillance, and video streaming; and for the high-end applications market, such as TV broadcasting, professional DVD/SVCD mastering, or high-end streaming applications.
